Lord Judd: My Lords, does the Minister accept that meanwhile, there is real urgency about what happens next and that the “play fair” strategy should in a sense fade into the background because immediate information and certainty is necessary? I am constantly approached by people in business, the professions, the health service and universities about the uncertainty prevailing in their planning for the future. We are going into the new year with no further indication of certainty on which they can plan.
